Apply to join
Applications for Career Mentoring Fellows are open annually from June until August.
Physics degree holders working in industry, academia, government, public service, or the nonprofit sector — including postdocs and faculty — are welcome to apply.
The application form will ask you to describe:
- Your interest in learning about diverse physics careers and mentoring students
- Your previous experience as a volunteer or mentor to students or early career physicists, through APS or another organization
- Your leadership skills, preferably related to activities benefiting students
- Your experience and interest in furthering diversity, equity, and inclusion in physics
As part of your application, you must also include contact information for a student or early-career scientist who can serve as a reference, and describe your assistance or mentorship of students or early career scientists. Your reference will receive a request to submit a half-page statement of support on your behalf. We recommend that you reach out to this reference before you submit your application.

Applications open annually in June. If you'd like to learn more, please contact the APS Careers team.
